So far just love everything about it BUT, wow does it suck gas I remember the '04 drinking it but, this R3 even as light as I'm driving it right now is really going through it's first full tank.
Looks like I may get 200 miles out of the 1st tank. O' well I'm still a happy camper to be back in an 8...

according to the wife, it's the last car I ever get... ;
I guess the fact I did not tell her anything about it till I showed up with it did not help, just left out Sat. early and told her I was going to get tires. (which I did) she didn't think it was funny at all.
But, I've always done the "ask for forgiveness instead of permission" rule..
it does make number 22 that I've had over the years.

ps. 1st tank MPG clocked in at 17.9, very light footed. But, still I won't complain I knew that going back into it.. I think my '04 stayed right around 21-22mpg, on long trip 23ish.

Congrats! I can't express to you how much I love my blue R3! I was in Manhattan tonight and the guys at the garage I parked at thought it was awesome (even with my snow tires and wheels), and were complimenting it. When I got back it was parked in the front next to the Benz's, Bimmers, and Bentleys, which says a lot.
In any case, great choice and enjoy the car!
